The fantasy of winning the big lottery jackpot is alive and well all across the United States and here in the State of Colorado, but sad to say, last night there was not a Powerball jackpot winner.

That the bad news. The good news is that the next drawing should be worth something in the neighborhood of $243 million. But wait... there's MORE good news.

The top prize from last night's drawing was awarded to someone right here in our state. Was it you? Even before I give you the winning numbers, here's a tip that may give it away. If you bought not one - but TWO - tickets, both of them were winners last night!

The winning numbers were 2, 26, 45, 46, 52 with the Powerball of 21. The Power Play was 2X.

One person - apparently - purchased two tickets with the same numbers and each ticket won $50,000 as they matched four out of the five numbers and the Powerball number. So, so close. And so nice, they did it twice!

The winning tickets were sold at the Players Cafe location in Lakewood.

The next drawing will be held Saturday night with an estimated jackpot of $243 million.

Colorado Lottery Game That Gives You the Best Chance of Being A Millionaire

Lucky for Life is a lottery game that doesn't get nearly as much attention as Powerball and Megamillions, but for people who play the lottery regularly, it's well worth a closer look because your odds of winning are far greater.
